Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 97 Doubt

"Jack the Ripper is related to Professor Moriarty, so there is a clue."

"But Professor Moriarty's whereabouts are unknown. How can we find him?" Xiaolan walked to Conan's side and noticed that Tom and Jerry were repairing Sherlock Holmes Office. After a while, the small building was rebuilt. Get up, exactly the same as before.

Conan held Holmes' notebook and turned to look at the children: "Let's go find someone related to the professor, Colonel Sebastian Moran."

"I see." Xiao Ai smiled slightly with her hands behind her back: "Professor Moriarty's confidant, Colonel Moran, often appears in the bridge club in central London."

"The problem now is that in London in the 19th century, the club was a social place for the nobles and the upper class, and we couldn't get in." Holding his chin, Conan suddenly remembered something, and he turned to look at Tom and Jerry standing at the door: "Is there any way you can get into that bridge club?"

Pointing at himself with his index finger in bewilderment, Tom and Jerry looked at each other and nodded together.They took out a small book from their pockets, opened it to Conan, it was the membership card of the bridge club.

In exchange, Detective Tom and Mouse asked to solve the case with the children. The children could clearly see two clouds rising above their heads. In the clouds was the scene where Holmes and Watson praised them after they captured Jack.

"It turns out that Sherlock Holmes is also a blue cat!" Conan put his paw on his nose awkwardly: "Why am I not a cat?"

He looked at Xiao Ai again: "You are really enviable."

Taking off the photo of the ring on the note, Detective Shiba Inu walked towards the city center with his new friends.

.........

After showing their membership cards, the cat and mouse detectives successfully took these children into the bridge club. As a social place, this club also provides meals to members for free.

The children watched as Tom grabbed a big ham, opened his mouth wider than his head, and just ate the thing, and then Jerry knocked it to the ground with a long baguette.

As for why there are baguettes in British clubs, that's not quite clear.

Standing up again, Tom pressed his face against Jerry's. He clenched his fists. Just as he was about to teach Mr. Mouse a lesson, he saw Jerry pointing at the children behind him.

Thinking of what he was waiting for, Tom put his hands behind his back and smiled awkwardly.

"You can't fight here!" Conan walked up to Detective Cat and Mouse, and put Jerry on Tom's shoulder. He watched the cat kiss the mouse hard on the face, and then he was relieved to go to the playing card area have a look.

Different from those small tables, there was a large table in the card playing area. A bottle of high-end red wine was placed on the empty main seat, and the chairs were very exquisite. The other four people were also playing poker.

Squinting half-moon eyes, Chai Conan looked helplessly at Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny and Barney Bear not far away.

"Hey, who are you, why are you here secretly?"

A childish voice came from the side. Conan quickly turned his head and looked around, but did not see the speaker.

"I'm here!"

He looked at the ground and saw a small gray mouse.

"Oh, my God, this is the first time I've seen a dog of your breed!" Teddy the mouse took off his hat: "You look like a mouse."

"My name is Conan."

"My name is Taffey H. Watson, and the famous Dr. Watson is my uncle."

"Do you know which person over there is Colonel Moran?" Putting Taifei on his shoulders, Conan lay down behind the small table, secretly watching the game over there.

"Colonel Moran, you don't know him, he is famous, that duck." Tai Fei flicked his hat triumphantly.

"I didn't expect them to be animals too." The three little ones stood behind Conan and looked at the ducks over there.The cat and mouse detectives each held a piece of bread in their hands and sat on the table to eat openly.

"You guys! When did you come in?" Conan was anxious, and turned his head to look, and the card player over there really noticed this place.

"What are you secretly looking at!"

After being discovered, Donald Duck, smoking a pipe, looked at him angrily, and shouted in a drake voice: "It's Holmes' assistant and those children, catch them for me."

At the next few tables, pigeons dressed as boys all stood up. They and several children kept chasing each other in the club. Some slipped on the fried tofu with their soles, and some caught Mitsuhiko's tail and were stunned. .

Xiaolan also rushed in, and she kicked the pigeons out of the window one by one.

"Ayumi!"

There was a gunshot, and everyone looked at the glowing little fox. She was stunned for a moment and disappeared from the game.

Just as Colonel Moran was about to continue shooting, he was held on the head by Tom behind him with a bucket. As Jerry yanked the mop hard, his head kept shaking and he passed out.

When the duck woke up, he found that he and the other three were tied up, and the dog boy held the bottle of red wine prepared for Professor Moriarty.

Colonel Donald Duck broke free from the shackles, and he stretched out his wings patiently to Conan: "Good boy, give me that bottle of wine quickly, and I will let you go."

"This bottle of wine is prepared for Professor Moriarty, right?" Conan turned the bottom of the bottle down with a confident smile on his face: "The only person who can make Colonel Moran so nervous is that gentleman."

"Unfortunately, you guessed wrong." Although Colonel Moran's expression was very ferocious at this time, he was still speaking harshly.

"Then just shoot, if it doesn't matter if the professor's wine is broken."

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, the door of the club was opened from the outside. Everyone looked at the white swan dressed as a groom. He lowered his head and glanced at the duck.

"Professor Moriarty said he wanted to see you. He is waiting for you in the carriage."

The groom looked at the children walking out of the club with him, smoothly took the red wine from Conan's hand, and then led everyone to the carriage parked outside the door.

"You can compete with Moran in such a situation. I admire you very much. You really deserve to be Holmes' disciple." A white figure in the carriage hugged its wings: "Then what do you want from me?"

"You are not Professor Moriarty, are you?" Conan looked at the groom who had been standing aside: "You are Professor Moriarty."

The groom snorted twice, took off his hat, showed his head parted, and then retracted his neck.

"I didn't expect that Professor Moriarty is not a rooster, but a swan. It's just that you keep shrinking your neck, so others think you are a rooster." Conan watched the rooster who was the groom change clothes with the professor: "No wonder Holmes' notes Above, the word rooster is circled."

The professor raised a casual glance and looked at the cat and mouse detective over there. Under Yuyue's strange gaze, Jerry the mouse was holding Tom Cat and his face was trembling.
